    Article is pretty thin and alarmist. They quote someone from a pest control company saying they deal with bedbugs every day, but that doesn’t give any sense of the scale of the problem, only that this particular business is fully booked.

    I think travelers still have a legit reason to be concerned about picking up bedbugs abroad since they probably don’t have them at home. It’s not like people sleep and bring clothes to other people’s homes all the time, so the risk of picking them up is certainly enhanced when traveling. Don’t think people need to lose their minds about traveling to Paris, but it’s something to be aware of and informed about.

      The article also just sorta stops out of nowhere.

      I’ve been noticing that a lot lately. It’s like all journalists have already been replaced with the same AI that has no concept of how to close off an article.

        I figured there was a resurgence in human journalists. We had the Washington Post reveal that many of their articles were written by AI, and then go on a journalist hiring spree, both actions suggesting that they wanted to move away from the practice. Similarly, CNET deleted all of their articles that were written by AI.

        AI is trained on works that are written well, so it learns how to write well. Humans don’t care. They are only concerned with how much they get paid. They just want to churn out as much crap as possible as that makes more money.

          Humans have multiple incentives to write well. AI has no incentive to write well, doesn’t care about employment or income, has no morals or ethics, and has no concept of what anything is beyond 1’s and 0’s… But sure thing champ — AI writes better articles than journalists 👍
